Integrated Play Connections Therapy Center provides developmentally informed mental health services for children, adolescents, caregivers, and families.

Our services include child-centered play therapy, therapy for adolescents, parent support, caregiver consultation, family support, play therapy consultation, clinical supervision, and professional trainings for therapists, caregivers, and educators.

We specialize in helping children and families navigate concerns such as anxiety, big emotions, behavioral struggles, trauma, separation, divorce, life transitions, attachment concerns, and relational stress.

Child-Centered Play Therapy, or CCPT, is a developmentally appropriate form of therapy for children that uses play as the child’s natural language.

Instead of requiring children to explain their feelings with words, CCPT gives them a safe, consistent therapeutic relationship where they can express themselves through play, creativity, imagination, and symbolic expression.

In the playroom, the therapist follows the child’s lead while providing warmth, acceptance, reflection, and therapeutic limits when needed. Over time, children often begin to develop greater emotional regulation, confidence, self-understanding, problem-solving skills, and a stronger sense of safety within themselves and relationships.

Play therapy can be helpful for children who are having a hard time with big feelings, worries, anger, sadness, separation, changes at home, grief, trauma, school stress, social struggles, or difficult life transitions.

It can also support children who may seem withdrawn, easily overwhelmed, controlling, perfectionistic, frustrated often, or unsure how to express what they are feeling or needing.

Instead of only focusing on the behavior, play therapy helps us look underneath it and better understand what your child may be trying to communicate.

We understand that parents want to know what is happening in therapy. At the same time, children need privacy and emotional safety in order for the therapeutic process to work.

We do not give a play-by-play of everything your child says or does in the playroom. Instead, we share broader themes, progress, patterns, and ways you can support your child outside of session.

For example, we may talk with you about themes like safety, control, nurturing, confidence, separation, anger, or problem-solving without exposing every detail of your child’s private therapeutic work.

The length of therapy depends on your child’s needs, history, goals, consistency of attendance, and what they are working through.

Some children benefit from short-term support around a specific transition or stressor, while others need longer-term therapy to process trauma, anxiety, attachment concerns, or ongoing emotional and behavioral struggles.

Because play therapy is relational, consistency matters. We will continue to check in with caregivers throughout the process and discuss progress together.

Yes. We offer parent support and caregiver consultation for families who want help understanding behavior, supporting emotional regulation, navigating big feelings, responding to anxiety, setting limits, or strengthening connection with their child.

Parent support can be especially helpful when caregivers feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to respond in a way that is both compassionate and boundaried.
